After you have been assigned a Support at Home Package and you have chosen your service provider, your Support at Home Subsidy will be paid to the provider.
The amount of funding will depend on the level of your Support at Home Package and on your financial circumstances.
The My Aged Care website has a fee calculator to give you an idea what your fees might be:

There are two different fees that you might have to pay.
The basic daily fee that can be charged can be up to 17.5% of the basic Age Pension.
This fee is absolutely negotiable with CURA and is based on the balance of your budget.
The income tested fee is based on your personal income and is conducted by Centrelink.
To find out if you would be required to pay an income tested fee you can complete the Support at Home calculation of your cost of care form (SA456).
Finding your way through the different fees can be time consuming and difficult. Our team at CURA are happy to meet with you and explain in person.
